Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
At the 152 m gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,732 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 294 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Learjet 35A, then departed from runway 15 at LIRA Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport. The takeoff distance was 838 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 99 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Ciampino in Lazio, Italy. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 46 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 481 meters above sea level to 10,071 meters above sea level, an increase of 9,589.9 meters.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles north of Narni in Umbria, Italy. This phase lasted for 35 minutes and covered a distance of 215 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Vigolo Vattaro in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 55 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 9,995 meters above sea level to 4,151 meters above sea level, a decrease of 5,844.1 meters.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles southeast of Tarasp in Kanton Graubunden, Switzerland. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Zernez in Kanton Graubunden, Switzerland. The descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 4,080 meters above sea level to 2,099 meters above sea level, a decrease of 1,981.2 meters.
The final approach to runway 21 at LSZS Samedan Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 220.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 391.3 meters above ground level. The landing on runway 21 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 120 knots and a touchdown distance of 296 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -1.4 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 202 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 812 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 340 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 75 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 715 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Learjet 35A successfully landed at LSZS Samedan Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 220.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 391.3 meters above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, setting up for a smooth touchdown on runway 21.
The runway at LSZS Samedan Airport has a length of 1,732 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the Learjet 35A to land safely. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed effectively.
Upon touchdown, the Learjet 35A performed well, with a touchdown distance of 296 meters and a touchdown speed of 120 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -1.4 meters per second was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 202°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 812 meters was 47% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the Learjet 35A's landing at LSZS Samedan Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment throughout the approach and landing phases.
